AI Search Readiness Audit

See what an AI search engine sees when it visits your page — and exactly what to fix. Free, instant, no signup.

No signup, no card. We read the page once and show you everything we find.

It checks the things a normal SEO audit skips.

Whether answer-engine crawlers are allowed in your robots.txt. Whether your content is in the HTML or arrives after JavaScript runs, which most AI crawlers never do. Whether anything on the page says who wrote it. These decide AI visibility and rarely appear in a site audit.

Measured, never estimated.

Every point traces to something we read on your page. Nothing is inferred from a model and nothing is guessed. Where something could not be measured — an unreachable robots.txt, say — the report says so instead of scoring it as a pass or a fail.

Nothing is stored.

We fetch the page, measure it and return the result. No account, no record, no third party: there is no data vendor and no AI provider behind this tool. We keep only an IP-keyed request counter to cap abuse, which expires within 26 hours.

What the categories mean

Technical foundation
HTTPS, a mobile viewport and a canonical URL. The checks every crawler makes before it reads anything.
On-page signals
Title and meta description — what a search result or a citation actually displays.
Content & extractability
How much of your content exists in the HTML itself. Most AI crawlers do not run JavaScript, so anything rendered client-side is invisible to them.
Structured data
Schema markup: telling an engine what you are rather than hoping it infers correctly.
AEO readiness
Whether a question on your page has a liftable answer next to it — FAQ schema, question-led headings, scannable lists.
GEO readiness
Whether generative engines may fetch you at all, and whether an author, a date and an entity identify who is behind the page.

Questions people ask before running it

What does this audit actually check?

Six categories, all measured on the page you give us:

  • Technical foundation — HTTPS, viewport, canonical
  • On-page signals — title, meta description, Open Graph
  • Content and extractability — headings, word count present without JavaScript, internal links, alt text
  • Structured data — which schema types are found
  • AEO readiness — FAQ schema, question-led headings, lists
  • GEO readiness — whether AI answer crawlers are allowed in robots.txt, plus author, date and entity signals

Is it really free?

Yes. Five audits per day, no account and no card. You see the complete result — every category score and every recommendation — not a preview with the useful part locked.

What do you do with my URL?

We fetch the page once, plus your robots.txt and llms.txt if they exist, measure them and return the result. Nothing is stored. There is no account to store it against, and no third party receives the URL — the analysis runs entirely on our own servers with no data vendor and no AI model involved.

Does a low score mean my site is broken?

No. It means the page is missing signals that AI search systems use. Most sites score in the 60s because they were built for traditional search, where FAQ schema, author attribution and entity links did not matter much. The score is a measure of readiness for a newer set of engines, not a verdict on your site.

How is this different from a normal SEO audit?

A normal audit asks whether Google can rank the page. This one asks whether an answer engine can quote it, which turns on different things: whether the substance is in the HTML rather than arriving after JavaScript, whether a question on the page has a liftable answer beside it, and whether anything identifies who stands behind the claim. A page can pass a traditional audit cleanly and still be invisible to an engine that writes answers.

Does a good score mean ChatGPT will cite me?

No, and nothing here claims to measure that. This audit reads your page and reports what an AI crawler would find. Whether an engine then cites you also depends on your authority and on what else exists for that query — neither of which is visible from a single page. Readiness is the part you control; it is necessary, not sufficient.

This audit reads one page. Optmizly is the platform that fixes what it finds — 23 tools across SEO, GEO and AEO.
